NOW: ISIS executes top Mosul official for "coup attempt"

Abu Usman al-Hassan—one of the group’s commanders and Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi’s representative in the city—was accused of conspiring against ISIS.

BEIRUT – Reports have emerged that ISIS has executed one of its top administrative officials in Iraq’s second city of Mosul for planning a coup against the extremist group.

The Iraq Press news outlet first reported the incident on Monday, saying that ISIS had executed Abu Usman al-Hassan—one of the group’s commanders and Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi’s representative in the city—on charges of conspiracy, prompting a number of Syrian and Arab fighters to withdraw towards Raqqa in protest of the execution.

“ISIS executed the commander inside Mosul after severe disagreements between him and a number of other commanders,” an eyewitness told the outlet.

“He was accused of conspiring against the ‘caliphate state’.”
